NAPLES - Former state Rep. Paige Kreegel said Monday he will make another run for the Congressional seat representing Southwest Florida.

Kreegel, 55, who owns a home in Estero, a farm in Punta Gorda and a medical practice in Fort Myers, said he plans to officially announce his intentions Tuesday.

Kreegel, a Republican who served four two-year-terms in the state House, is a family doctor, citrus grower and businessman.

U.S. Rep. Trey Radel, who won the seat in 2012, has filed the initial papers to make another run for the seat. Radel is returning to Congress this week following a leave of absence after he admitted in a Washington, D.C., court to possession of cocaine.

In 2012, Kreegel ran and got 17.7 percent of the vote in the Republican primary, won by Radel.

"It's time to choose another Congressman," Kreegel said. "The shortcomings of the current one have been well elucidated in the press."

In addition to Radel, those who have submitted the papers necessary to raise money to make a run at the seat are Ray Netherwood, a Libertarian Party of Florida candidate from Marco Island; Republican Brian Gibens of Cape Coral, an Army veteran who works for an oncologist; and April Freeman, a Democrat from Cape Coral.

Several other names also have surfaced, including state Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Fort Myers; Naples City Councilman Gary Price; and Byron Donalds, who ran against Radel in 2012.
